A mesmerising blend of playfulness, poignancy and artistry...Todd is a unique talent.

The same can be said about the video too!

I bought this album when it was new. Then I bought another because I wore out #1. Then the cd came out. I’ve owned about 6 copies of that. One was stolen out of my truck, others I gave away because this masterpiece needed to be shared. Happy 40th Birthday, Healing. You are my go-to inspirational, uplifting music. 🎁🎶🎵🎧🎻🎤🥁🎸

Stolen CD, That's not right. Todd Rundgren music is so priceless. Especially "Hello Is Me and Banging The Drum All Day/Green Bay Packers theme."

Healing is a beautiful yet very strange and emotionally moving and uplifting album that Todd does so well and still is compelling and brilliant today

I love all things Todd Rundgren ! These lyrics still apply today ❤

They had a "limited amount of videos" only because that's the way they wanted it. There were a LOT of videos they could have played that they simply didn't, or they didn't play them very often.

I was there when MTV premiered this video. I always thought that the video, itself, was well-done, and I'm even not a big fan surrealism. The song is completely unique with an interesting, jolting tempo. The only criticism that most of the viewers had at the time is the choreography...or the lack of.

Your memory is off - this song was released over five months before MTV started. However, it was the 8th video MTV played.

Great! Musical genius!

It's so wonderful and beautiful music!

So catchy Time has its moments in life and history in the mix what it does but i love to go back to the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s.Todd has some catchy gems this Video Number 8 on MTV August 1981amazing how they did it randomly i miss that u don't get anymore cause we gotten older that suxs

80s technology was Soo cool.

1981 year i was born , listening to it since my ears got used to that : )

One of the best concerts I have ever seen.

Shrooms with Todd anyone??? Appreciate the artist and his artistic talent not for the content!!!! Those who have zero talent but ridicule just to get 5 minutes of fame can never appreciate the 40 years of music this guy has shared; a wizard, a true Star ⭐⭐⭐

Genius pop tune.

Not so much if you have too retentive a memory & few to no new, exciting, stimulating events happening.

Great songs very 80s sounding and with a great positive message. The video was probably the most creative one shown in the first day of mtv. However the chorus still sounds to me like “time is a ruse no one can see”

I saw him on a talk show long long ago and he said he was the first one to put music to a video and had predicted that format would take off, which we all know it did. You can see from this video that the music videos have come a long way.

OMG I remember this song from the 80s! I love how Todd used all of that artwork in the video. Way cool!!

One of Todd's best.

Great song!!!

I like the Salvador Dali look of the video.

I loved your album ' Mink Of Hollow' and always think this song matches those tunes on a high level

Have not heard this song in over 25 years. Thanks

LOVE THIS!!! XX

A genius melodist!

I bought this cassette out of a “bargain bin” in 82, I played it to death.

Remember watching the premier .. this vid is burned into my brain ... TR was a visionary then as now

Such a wonderful lyricist and singer. Also, he's always had the most beautiful hands. My hands turned to shit with age.

weird song

This is the most uncomfortable video

I fully understand how for many people this is nostalgia, but come on, this is g a very good song and not a very good video. I mean just using a bunch of poorly projected paintings in the background? Also the song almost has no melody.
